Introduce parse_flags_and_revs. This function requires that
there is at most one stash-like revision parameter and
zero or more flags.
It knows how to parse -q,--quiet and --index flags, but leaves
other flags parsed.
Specified revisions are checked to see that they are at
least stash-like (meaning: they look like something created
by git stash save or git stash create).
If this is so, then IS_STASH_LIKE is initialized to a non-empty value.
If the specified revision also looks like a stash log entry reference,
then IS_STASH_REF is initialized to a non-empty value.
References of the form ref@{spec} are required to precisely identify
an individual commit.
If no reference is specified, stash@{0} is assumed.
Once the specified reference is validated to be at least stash_like
an ensemble of derived variables, (w_commit, w_tree, b_commit, etc)
is initialized with a single call to git rev-parse.
Repeated calls to parse_flags_and_rev() avoid repeated calls
to git rev-parse if the specified arguments have already been
parsed.
Subsequent patches in the series modify the existing
git stash subcommands to make use of these functions
as appropriate.
An ensemble of supporting functions that make use of the state
established by parse_flags_and_rev(). These are described below:
The ancillary functions are:
is_stash_like(): which can be used to test
whether a specified commit looks like a commit created with
git stash save or git stash create.
assert_stash_like(): which can be used by
commands that misbehave unless their arguments stash-like.
is_stash_ref(): which checks whether an argument
is valid stash reference(e.g. is of the form
['refs/']stash['@{'something'}])
assert_stash_ref(): which can be used by commands
that misbehave unless their arguments are both stash-like and
refer to valid stash entries.

GIT - the stupid content tracker
////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////
"git" can mean anything, depending on your mood.
- random three-letter combination that is pronounceable, and not
actually used by any common UNIX command. The fact that it is a
mispronunciation of "get" may or may not be relevant.
- stupid. contemptible and despicable. simple. Take your pick from the
dictionary of slang.
- "global information tracker": you're in a good mood, and it actually
works for you. Angels sing, and a light suddenly fills the room.
- "goddamn idiotic truckload of sh*t": when it breaks
Git is a fast, scalable, distributed revision control system with an
unusually rich command set that provides both high-level operations
and full access to internals.
Git is an Open Source project covered by the GNU General Public License.
It was originally written by Linus Torvalds with help of a group of
hackers around the net. It is currently maintained by Junio C Hamano.
Please read the file INSTALL for installation instructions.
See Documentation/gittutorial.txt to get started, then see
Documentation/everyday.txt for a useful minimum set of commands, and
Documentation/git-commandname.txt for documentation of each command.
If git has been correctly installed, then the tutorial can also be
read with "man gittutorial" or "git help tutorial", and the
documentation of each command with "man git-commandname" or "git help
commandname".
CVS users may also want to read Documentation/gitcvs-migration.txt
("man gitcvs-migration" or "git help cvs-migration" if git is
installed).
Many Git online resources are accessible from http://git-scm.com/
including full documentation and Git related tools.
The user discussion and development of Git take place on the Git
mailing list -- everyone is welcome to post bug reports, feature
requests, comments and patches to git@vger.kernel.org. To subscribe
to the list, send an email with just "subscribe git" in the body to
majordomo@vger.kernel.org. The mailing list archives are available at
http://marc.theaimsgroup.com/?l=git and other archival sites.
The messages titled "A note from the maintainer", "What's in
git.git (stable)" and "What's cooking in git.git (topics)" and
the discussion following them on the mailing list give a good
reference for project status, development direction and
remaining tasks.
